Greek Bouzouki night at Mambo Cafe, Cleveland

One of many hidden gems in Cleveland, QLD is the Mambo Cafe. Located on Bloomfield Street in the Cleveland House arcade. I had been fasting for a blood test and came out of Sullivan Nicolaides Pathologywith a craving for coffee and something sweet. My nose directed me inside Mambo Cafe and the amazing coffee aroma.

I talked to Helen, the owner, and she directed me to some gluten-free almond flour-based greek biscuits and handed me an amazing mocha (coffee with hot chocolate) and I was in love.

Lucky for me I pass by Mambo Cafe on a regular basis and I have returned for more sweet treats. I have also taken friends to meet Helen and experience her amazingly authentic Greek foods including:

Antipasto tray

Spanakopita

Calamari

Octopus

Parmesen Mushroom

Dolmades

Lamb Balls

Moussaka

Souvlaki

Stuffed tomatoes

Desserts:

Baklava

Galaktoboureko

Honey Tart
